You are so talented! I think you got a lot of strange and yuck in your final pic. Having just offered my kid a green bean last night, I was returned a face with one side of the mouth higher and a nostril up and squinted eye as if contorting her mouth enough would prevent green bean insertion.

I agree on the canned beans. They made me eat them in daycare when I was little. The smell still makes me hemorrhage! But I finally graduated to eating fresh beans with butter and oil and garlic…about 5 years ago. Can we say “late bloomer?” I must look up this book!
